Weighing in here since no-one has mentioned the budget CKR3.   I just got back from Japan and I picked up the CKR3 for about 21,000 yen, which is about $20. I wanted a cheap set of walk around headphones for my phone that had a bit of isolation. So far I'm really enjoying them! They are...

Hi guys,   I just did this mod on my M50s... it was damn fiddly but I got there! Australian guys, you can get the Lumburg jack from: http://australia.rs-online.com/web/p/jack-trs-connectors/5051429/ It's out of stock until March 2013 :P   So the jack that I got was this one from...

I just got one of these from Jaban in Melbourne, Australia (they just opened a new store). I'm coming from a Cmoy with a burbrown chip in it. These amps are really nice and detailed! They have a really wide and airy sound, very clean and dynamic.   Compared to the regular Martini, they have...

here's my review!   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/533368/the-best-looking-headphones/135

http://audio-technica.com.au/?page_id=1015   Here they are, the Audio Technica BB500 full size behind-the-head street style headphones. The are designed as a bassy DJ style headphone that won't mess up your hair while you tromp around outside. They're a pretty awesome looking headphone and...

Well, it's been one week, time for an update! I'll go the things I've found, comparing it to my old Sony s616 and my Cowon D2+ (which i no longer have). Here's a couple points I've found:   Playlists - the good: yes it supports playlists on the go. the bad: it only lets you add one song at a...

chafingbuttocks - agreed, my experience with the s755 is that it's no good with full size headphones... but the s616 was the same too. I'm going to get a LOD later so I can at least run my M50s and DT880s if I want to. My experience with my PK3, KSC75s and UM1s however has been pretty positive...

Thenightman - it's not bad with the m50s, but it seems to be lacking power compared to my old cowon d2 or my ipad. This makes it a bit loose and flubby. Same with my dt880. I never got the impression that the sony's have very powerful amps, they seem to be earbud or iem monsters, but no good at...

Marcus_C - It came with a dock connector, but i'm not too sure about dock types or if it's compatible. I've got one of those Suntac line out cables for my S616 in the car, and the S755 works with it, charges it too. The connector and USB cable are exactly the same as the others. The guy at the...

As requested, I added lots of interface pics :D   The thing that looks awesome is the animation on this thing, it looks modern and smooth.   DaeO - start up time when you first copy new files is about 20 - 30 seconds to add ALL your music. If you add a folder after that...

They'll probably never support FLAC, I've never been one for lossless. I had a bunch of FLACs on my Cowon D2, but with only Yuin PK3s or Westone UM1s, there's no way I'd be able to tell the difference.   Kiteki - They've got the same sort of acoustic modelling things as the original S...

    I picked up this baby yesterday from the Sony Centre in Melbourne, Australia. It was the last 16 gig left in stock. Price was AU$199, which is AU$30 cheaper than a 16 gig ipod nano.   I haven't found anything on this model on the forums, so I thought I'd drop down some initial...

I scored a set of these in Hong Kong... very nice looking! Very wide soundstage, light but punchy bass, recessed highs but very nice and detailed mids. I find they're a bit hard to stay on my ears though, i wish the pads were a bit fluffier... they're rather hard (not as cooshy as they...

Hi guys, I've been watching a set of ESW-9s on ebay, lucky I found this thread: Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 Headphone [GREAT BARGIN] - eBay Earphones, Headphones, Earphones, MP3 Player Accessories, Electronics. (end time 27-Feb-09 15:33:47 AEDST) DEFINITELY fake, which is very disappointing...

This is my first review of any headphones, so here goes: For some reason, the Sennheiser EH250 is a really popular headphone for my local music stores to stock and I have no idea why (local suppliers?). I picked them up primarily for live monitoring while recording / tracking, and they serve...

Thanks guys! I'm pretty sure now that A900 is the way to go! The beyer DT250s look good too, but the soundstage and darker presentation might not be for me... I'll let you guys know how I go!

Ahhh thanks everyone for their help so far! It's really helped to shed light on these phones! I'll let you know what I'm thinking: A900, as a 'jack of all trades' phone is still quite appealing, but the cost is what is putting me off, if it's not going to be a 'bloody amazing' phone. I'm...

Damn, I was really hoping the a900s would be a bright lively sound :P. Smashing, cheers for the recommendation, jaben is an awesome store but the way the economy is, it converts to AUD$602.851 which is a bit out of reach for me... I guess what I'm looking for is a closed set of headphones...

Hi! I'm looking for a set of closed, high end headphones for maximum detail while blocking some outside noise. They're mainly to be used at home in a noisy space (TV and such). Due to the economy, it's impossible to import headphones, so my choices are: Audio Technica A900 ($279 AUS)...

hi there! i'm from melbourne (prahran to be exact) and the best place by far to buy is Headphonic | Australian Headphone Specialists: Buy Etymotic, Alessandro, Audio Technica, Ultimate Ears, Talisman, Meier Audio and more as they do free shipping and have the largest range. other than that...

I was trying this thing out today with my minibox and fiio. Not much difference at all, but it is great for the car kit as it will charge and play at the same time. Also, it puts the plug at the bottom. But sonically, I can't really say there is a difference at all. Edit: After some more...

I tried some Klipsch Image phones in the shop the other day with No Suprises and Arpeggi, they're really round and warm, makes Colin's bass lines sound really nice They were expensive though, almost $300 US.... I've got UM1 and they're just ok for Radiohead. I wouldn't listen at home with them.

I just happen to be in Japan on holiday at the moment I'm gonna grab one of these and in 2 weeks when i get back (to where my amp is) i'll give some feedback They're everywhere here btw, if anyone is coming to japan, they're in practically every decent department store, or at bic camera...
